MUSEUM OF ARCHITECTURE IS PART OF THE JACK CONTEMPORARY ARTS TV TEAM

JACK Con­tem­po­rary Arts TV (www.​jackarts.​tv) over­comes the phys­i­cal and ge­o­graph­i­cal con­fines of a museum and brings to­gether mul­ti­ple in­ter­na­tional centres of ex­cel­lence in cul­tural ex­per­i­men­ta­tion and pro­duc­tion. With ex­clu­sive con­tents, a con­stantly updated sched­ule of live stream­ing, space for users’ com­ments and the con­tri­bu­tions of art blog­gers, a section devoted to video using sign lan­guage, JACK intends to excite, provide food for thought, de­scribe reality with new eyes and above all bring the general public into contact with con­tem­po­rary art. From its very name, JACK, uni­ver­sal and fa­mil­iar, ref­er­enc­ing an elec­tri­cal con­nec­tor, a playing card and a fruit, a name that belongs to us all*.

From Rome to Am­s­ter­dam, from Is­tan­bul to Lisbon, JACK units mul­ti­ple and diverse ex­pe­ri­ences and points of view to recount the uni­ver­sal energy of art to all those ready to allow them­selves to be trans­ported by the power of cre­ativ­ity and to be inspired.

On the day of its debut, JACK can already count on the par­tic­i­pa­tion of 14 na­tional and in­ter­na­tional in­sti­tu­tions: Centro per l’Arte Con­tem­po­ranea Luigi Pecci (Prato), EMST Na­tional Museum of Con­tem­po­rary Art (Athens), FOAM Fo­tografiemu­seum (Am­s­ter­dam), Fon­dazione Ro­maeu­ropa, Is­tan­bul Museum of Modern Art, Gal­le­ria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Con­tem­po­ranea (Rome), La Tri­en­nale di Milano, MADRE Museo d’Arte Con­tem­po­ranea Donnaregina (Naples), MAK – Aus­trian Museum of Applied Arts / Con­tem­po­rary Art (Vienna), Museion (Bolzano), Museum of Ar­chi­tec­ture (Wroclaw), Museo di Fo­tografia Con­tem­po­ranea (Cinisello Balsamo – Milan), Trienal de Ar­qui­tec­tura de Lisboa.

The project has been de­vel­oped thanks to the three-year part­ner­ship between MAXXI and En­gi­neer­ing, a leader in the soft­ware and IT ser­vices sector. The ob­jec­tive of the col­lab­o­ra­tion is to create and provide tech­no­log­i­cal support for the museum’s pro­jects, guar­an­tee­ing their dis­tri­b­u­tion, sup­port­ing con­tem­po­rary cre­ativ­ity in all its forms – art ar­chi­tec­ture, dance and pho­tog­ra­phy – with maximum in­volve­ment of the public.
